Lenny Dykstra has had a rough go of things since he officially retired in 1998 at the age of 35. He’s been arrested for sexual harassment of a 17-year-old female, has been accused of using offensive terms when speaking about Blacks, women, and homosexuals, was also accused of sexual assault, credit card fraud, writing bad checks, was named on the 2007 Mitchell Report and yes, is now being charged with bankruptcy fraud.
According to a report by the New York Post, the former Mets and Phillies star was charged with bankruptcy fraud for allegedly selling items from his $18-million mansion without permission. After filing for bankruptcy in July of 2009, Dykstra apparently destroyed and sold property that was part of the bankruptcy estate without the permission of the trustee.
Apparently the items he was selling ranged from sports memorabilia to a $50,000 sink. Now, I’m no financial whiz but I would assume if you’re having issues with debt, buying a $50,000 sink probably isn’t the best idea. I mean, a quick Google search resulted in this $342.48 Moen 22356 18’ Gauge Single Basin Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink, which includes free shipping. Me thinks $50K is a little much for one sink.
If you read through his Wikipedia page, it’s a wonder how this guy hasn’t spent serious time in jail. Seems like a real shady character to me. And when I say “shady,” I mean he likes to partake in illegal things and somehow evades punishment.
